I was sleeping on a really terrible mattress throughout graduate school and when I got a real job I felt comfortable enough to get a mattress like this. It feels really great and I feel like it was literally something that I needed and I think just about every dollar will be worth it. If you sit on the edge of the mattress to tie your shoe or something it compresses almost all the way to the support, but laying down on it it feels maybe only 1/4-1/3 depression into the mattress. 

Feel very supported and soft when laying down. No pressure points.
